With so many it is almost certain to have been a candidate for re-naming.
St.Johns Wood was in St.Marylebone, but the name Regents Park also applied
to parts of St.Pancras adjoining the park.
You need to accurately identify your Gloucester Street on a map - if it is
from a birth, death or marriage certificate the headings will help.
